The 5 Best Physical Skills in Starfield

The Physical Skill Tree in Starfield is great for Brawlers and those who want to make their build more sturdy and defensive, but which Physical skills are best? We’ve made that decision easy for you!

1. Weight Lifting

In the expansive universe of Starfield, players will find themselves collecting tons of weapons and equipment. The Weight Lifting skill allows players to carry additional weight, ensuring that they won’t become overburdened. This becomes especially crucial when venturing deep into dungeons or caverns far from your ship’s cargo. By the fourth rank, players can carry an astounding 100 additional kilograms and also gain a 50% resistance to stagger, ensuring they remain steady in combat situations as well.

2. Stealth

Stealth plays a pivotal role in Starfield, especially when navigating hostile environments or trying to avoid direct confrontations. At the basic level, the Stealth skill introduces a stealth meter, informing players of their proximity to being detected. As players progress, they become even more adept at sneaking, with suppressed weapons dealing additional damage. By the fourth rank, players are 100% more challenging to detect, and their sneak attacks deal 20% more damage. Even more clutch, players can perform actions like opening and closing doors without alerting nearby enemies to keep their Stealth run from stalling.

3. Wellness

Surviving in space isn’t just about combat prowess; it’s also about maintaining one’s health. The Wellness skill directly impacts a player’s vitality, starting with a 10% increase in maximum health at rank one. As players invest more in this skill, they can see their health boost up to 40% by the fourth rank. The primary benefit here is that almost every healing item in Starfield is percentage-based, so the more total Health you have the greater effect those healing items will have.

4. Rejuvenation

The vastness of space and the dangers it holds can wear down even the most seasoned explorers. The Rejuvenation skill offers players a chance to recover, slowly regenerating health when outside of combat. As the skill is upgraded, the regeneration rate increases, and by the third rank, players even experience a slower health regen during combat. This skill is invaluable for those long expeditions where medical supplies might be scarce, allowing you to heal up to full health between fights.

5. Concealment

In a universe filled with unknown threats, sometimes the best defense is to remain unseen. The Concealment skill specializes in this, ensuring players don’t trigger mines and significantly amplifying their sneak attack damage. As players advance in this skill, they experience enhanced stealth capabilities, with the fourth rank even allowing them to enter stealth mode, causing enemies to lose sight of them instantly. This skill is great for resetting enemies when a Stealth attack goes wrong or if you just want to fast-travel away from a fight to cut your losses.
